Basically, once we hit 25-30 users the tps drops next to nothing and we get all sorts of block lag, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions to help improve this? I've done SEVERAL tests with the plugins by removing them all and bringing them back 1 by 1 but to no avail. I've also read that it has a lot to do with 1.8, yet on other servers I don't see this problem. 6gb of ram should be more then enough to support 25-30 players without seeing lag.

Might be CPU. I'm assuming you're on a VPS. I also get low TPS, even without my resources being demanded. I dedicate 6 gb of ram to craftbukkit and my cpu never really gets above 50% total usage. Even with out using all my ram/cpu my TPS drops greatly with 40-50 players. No idea why, but it does. =( But yeah check your CPU and maybe ask your VPS host for more cpu units. (units being cpu priority) I had this problem a while back on a VPS and did everything I could to try to fix the issue. It turned out to be a shady VPS host. Switching hosts fixed MY issue.
@Acrobot The server is hosted for me, they said they use the default starting script. Do you have a recommendation for one? I believe they will change it for me upon request. @Donny What host are you using now if you don't mind me asking?

@THG3 You should probably look here: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ho...24gb-dedicated-server.3967/page-2#post-184208 You could start with something basic, like (if you use Java 6, remove the -server): Code: java -server -Xmx6G -Xingc -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=15 -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods -XX:+AggressiveOpts -jar CraftBukkit.jar
@Acrobot Thank you very much, I've forwarded this information to my host. If they don't change it or are not able to I will just be shopping for a different one that can.
I've been using them for several months now, no issues and great support. But their support uses a ticket system. So a response can take a few hours to get.
Dang...sorry to threadjack but that's crazy cheap. I pay $175 for an i7 with 8GB of ram and 10TB transfer.
I can host for you 8GB RAM , SSD HD 80G unlimitted BW only for 73 euros/month [BOX] no VPS [RFS] host
@Acrobot I just wanted to tell you how well that script worked out for me. I've struggled with this performance issue forever now and that script literally make all the difference, thank you. The only thing is that since changing the script I see this over and over in the console: 08.11 05:30:13 [Server] INFO list 08.11 05:30:01 [Server] INFO list 08.11 05:29:49 [Server] INFO list 08.11 05:29:37 [Server] INFO list 08.11 05:29:25 [Server] INFO list 08.11 05:29:13 [Server] INFO list Do you know why this may be?
They do seem to be beatable, actually. I have 16gb RAM, i7 and 3tb HDD for $100 a month. Its around 74€/mo which is so far the cheapest I have found.
Network speeds? Where do you rent it from? Game server specific hosts are usually jips. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
